Luna's POV
"Mark" I muttered.He turned back abruptly and I hugged him before he could say anything.
"Mirabel can you hear his heartbeat?" I whispered.
"Yes. Oh my! His heart is beating fast and I love the sound it is producing" She giggled, excitedly.
"Okay. Enough of your drama. Bye" I whispered and let go of the necklace.
Mirabel is crazy! I wonder what Mark has done to her and why in the world does he have to appear in her dreams at the first place. I was still lost in my thoughts when he broke off the hug.
"Are you okay?" He asked, confused.
"Yes I am Or do I look sick?" I fired.
"No but the hugging? The whispering?"
I quickly cut him off. " I am sorry, I shouldn't have hugged you"
I turned to go hide my face in the restroom but he drew me back into his arms. I let out a gasp and quickly pushed him away. "Have you lost it? What was that for?" I snapped.
"I was only trying to help you. I understand that you have fallen in love with me and you just don't know how to confess your feelings. It is okay and I totally understand but you will have to give me some time to think about it" he blabbered.
I raised my eyebrows.. " What? Me? In love with you?. Not even in your wildest dreams"
" You don't have to deny it. was the hug for?"
He won't stop teasing me about the hug if I don't think of something.
"Don't be full of yourself. I only hugged you because i think I am going to die soon" I sniffed, wearing a sad face.
Luna! Is this the best you could think of? Phew! I hope it works.
"Are you sick? Did something happened to you? " Mark asked, worriedly.
"No.. I..
He drew me back into his embrace before I could complete the sentence.. He held me so tight that I almost choked.
"This is not fair. Why does everyone I cherish keeps on going away from me? Why am I this unfortunate? Am I a bad person? " He whimpered on my shoulder.
Maybe, my joke was extreme this time.
" No Mark you are getting it wrong.. I.." I tried to explain but he cuts me off..
" Shh! You don't have to console me. I have gradually learnt to accept my fate. You know, when mum was still alive; she was the only person I was so close to. My dad was so busy that he hardly spent time with us but mum didn't let it affect me. She did everything she could to make me not notice the absence of a father's care"
He sniffed.
" Mum would cook food and bring it to my office to eat with me, sometimes she would suddenly appear with Kate while I am working and force me to go on a family picnic. Yes! She was crazy, I know" He chuckled nervously .
I broke off from the hug and stared at him pitifully. "Mum promised to always be by my side and I held unto her words. She once told me that she couldn't wait to be called the CEO's mother and that became my dream. I vowed to work so hard in order to gain the position and I envisioned taking mum around the world and giving her the best treatments that she deserves. But this dream was cut short when... When" He choked as tears welled up in his eyes.
I sniffed as tears clouded my eyes too.
"I had gone to work that day after a goodbye hug and kiss from mum as usual. Few hours later, I received a call from the maids. I rushed home and to my dismay, my loving mum laid there lifeless. She wasn't moving, I called out her name but she didn't respond. They killed my mum, they murdered her in cold blood" He finally cried.
I could see so much pain and hurt in his eyes. He really must have gone through a lot.
"Shhh.. it's okay" I hugged him.
Mark's mum was murdered in her own house and nothing was done about it?. This is suspicious.
"Sorry for that. I didn't mean to wet your clothes with my tears" He sniffed as we disengaged from the hug.
" It's okay" I forced a smile.
"We will go see the doctor today.. I won't let anything happen to you"
"Doctor? I don't need a doctor.."
"But you said you are sick" He asked, wearing a confused look.
"I never said I was sick.. I only said I was going to die of hunger if you don't take me downstairs for breakfast" I stuttered.
" What? "
" Don't give me that look. I was trying to explain to you but you wouldn't listen"
"Come here Luna! I am not going to spare you today" He snarled and picked up a pillow from the couch and threw it at me.
"Ouch" I exclaimed as the pillow came in contact with my face.
He picked up another pillow and threw it at me but I managed to dodge it and ran to the bed to get my own pillow.
He chased after me as we both ran around the room laughing and laughing. I haven't seen this happy side of Mark, I hope he continues smiling like this.
We finally got tired and slumped on the bed, panting heavily.
"Thank you Mark" I suddenly said, turning to look at him.
"For what?" He asked, staring into my eyes.
"For everything. For the shelter, the trust, the good foods, everything"
" Does that mean we are now cool?"
" Yes. We are" I giggled
"Thank you" He took my hand and planted a kiss on its back.
I chuckled.." You are silly"
"So, miss Luna kindly get dressed in something nice because we are going downstairs to have some delicious breakfast" Mark announced, standing up from the bed.
" Huh? Really?" I sprang to my feet.
"Yes"
"You won't change your mind?"
"No.. never"
" Thank you" I yelled in excitement.
Peter's POV
I came out of the bathroom with my white towel wrapped around my waist. I sauntered over to my wardrobe and ransacked it looking for a dress to wear to work today.
Just then, i suddenly hear the door cracked open. I turned back to behold Sarah, she was still in her night gown. I am not surprised, she is the only one that can walk into my room without knocking on the door.
Yes, I have tried correcting her but she would always reply with; "Why do I have to knock before entering my husband's room or is there something you are trying to hide from me?"
And I am not ready for any of her dramas this morning.. Moreover, I am still angry at her for what she did to my son, Mark. Why in the world would she ask him to pay for rent in his own house?
"Good morning honey" she smiled.
I ignored her and turned back to what I was doing. I didn't want to ruin my morning.
Just then, I suddenly felt a hand wrapped around my waist, making me flinch.
"Hey darling.. why are you ignoring your beautiful and sexy wife? " She softly spoke into my ear.
